<p>Thank you, Uncle Rolland, for your kind words that truly express emotions well :)</p>
<p>And thank you, Richard and Dr. Hardman, for helping me answer Rolland. Yes no apology needed. Openness helps us.</p>
<p>I wasn't able to reply sooner because I just flew to Guam two days ago and today I've started working in my new school already (I'll add some info about my new affiliation below). Currently I am staying in a hotel arranged by the school and I don't always have internet access. Neither have I access to the school internet yet. You will see me more often when I am more settled here... maybe in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>again, thank you all for the responses. They are much appreciated.</p>

<p>Assistant Professor, Division of English and Applied Linguistics,</p>

I, also, did not think Rolland need apologize, nor do I think Chun would think so either, and yes, we do learn of problems in Taiwan through Chun (Jimmy) that are not unlike those we have in the American continents, and likewise, one is Jaqi, and thus human, as for the anishinabeh.
